“…A former study on indoor pollutants and indoor/outdoor pollutants relationship can be found in [22]. The BLH is a naturally ventilated building, which, along with the controlled access from the visitors, provided a sampling site appropriate for determining the infiltration of outdoor originated particles and investigation of the visitor's impact on indoor PM.…”

“…Numerous studies have already focused on indoor air characterization of libraries and museums with regard to chemical pollutants, indoors sources, chemical reactions and environmental factors [4,[6][7][8][18][19][20][21][22][23]2,24]. Moreover, the characteristics of indoor PM in museums were also studied with regard to the outdoor environment [7,9,25,26].…”

“…In naturally ventilated buildings, the airflow is driven by temperature or pressure differences [45]. It is likely that the variation of the ventilation inside the Baroque Library Hall is driven by temperature differences [22]. Table 1 provides the average indoor/outdoor temperature during visiting and non-visiting hours.…”

Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. A dynamic mass balance model was introduced taking account particle penetration from outdoors and indoor losses (deposition, ventilation). The model was used to determine deposition rate k and penetration efficiency P in 13 discrete size intervals. Model performance was evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) by selecting different pairs of k and P. No unique solution found, thus, averaged values of k and P from the best correlated pairs were used to estimate infiltration factor. Good agreement between infiltration factor and I/O ratio confirmed that modeled k and P were well-estimated. The deposition rate was found to depend strongly on particle size with higher rates for ultrafine and coarse particles. Penetration efficiency, on the other hand, was not clearly related with particle size. The infiltration factor varied substantially with particle size with less effective removal for accumulation fraction (0.1-0.7 µm). Higher infiltration factor for ultrafine particles, compared to coarse particles, indicates that enrichment of the library at this size is caused by penetration from outdoors. On the other hand, human presence during visiting hours found to contribute significantly to coarse particles by increasing the indoor number concentration by a factor of 3, 3.2 and 2 during spring, summer and winter respectively.

“…These buildings were not originally designed or built for any manner of heating. Such systems were installed to temporarily heighten occupants' thermal comfort, to the detriment of the indoor conservation of the natural environmental conditions and churches' artistic and architectural heritage [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Most historic churches are characterised by low thermal efficiency due primarily to their architectural design and the traditional materials used in their construction. Heating the huge volumes of air involved may be more or less effective depending on the HVAC system used. Up until very recently, traditional heating has been the system of choice in Spanish churches. The present study analysed the parish church at Talamanca de Jarama (a village on the outskirts of Madrid), where the forced hot-air system was found to induce wide fluctuations in indoor thermal-hygrometric (T/RH) conditions, in turn translating into the temporal and horizontal stratification of temperature and relative humidity. As a result, the thermal comfort sought for parishioners is not reached, for the air remains cold at pew height while heat accumulates in the upper area of the church. A three-dimensional sensor network was designed to monitor these conditions. Suspended from helium balloons, the sensors could record the indoor air temperature and humidity without causing any damage whatsoever to church property.
